"I'm sorry, I've let you down."

Listening to his subordinates' complaints, the old captain remained silent. A white bird swooped out and slashed through three magical insects in succession, and then knocked down a sulfuric acid insect clinging to the wall. Clearly, the captain had a high level of control over magical patterns.

Why is there no support...?

Actually, he didn't know either...

In the southern part of the city, tens of thousands of survivors gathered. They had already established a settlement in the center and set up a defensive line on the outside, making it extremely crowded.

Although many people escaped from the North City, several thousand people still became food for the demons, breeding even more demonic insects and ferocious creatures.

They were the patrol team, the main force guarding the southern city wall.

"I'll go first to buy you some time."

Faced with his subordinates' accusations, a hint of complexity appeared on the old captain's resolute face.

The carriage couldn't travel for long, not to mention they were constantly circling around with the demonic insects, and the insects attacked halfway through, causing minor injuries to the horse's legs.

"Snap!"

He bit down on a red pill; the effects were rapid, his muscles swelled quickly, and an invisible surge of energy erupted from his body.

In an instant, amidst the shock, persuasion, and pleas of his companions, he leaped into the raging tide of demonic insects, unleashing a roaring burst of energy that shattered the first row of split-toothed insects!

Blood splattered, and the body exploded!

After swallowing the pill, he naturally became incredibly powerful, unleashing the ferocious combat strength of a late-stage Silver Realm cultivator and blasting apart a large number of demonic insects!

A punch, a kick, a sweeping, explosive gust of wind, the force of the energy blasting away demonic insects from a distance, as if a god had descended to earth, unstoppable!

But soon, the swarm of insects exhausted his strength, and three silver-rank demonic insects attacked him from both sides. Their sharp fangs sliced ​​through his small intestine in his abdomen, and their sharp blades pierced through his chest!

Finally, a scythe flashed in the darkness, severing his head and sending it flying more than ten meters high!

His head was thrown high into the air, the old captain's mind remaining sluggish. In the dizzying moment, he looked at the escaped carriage, which was intercepted halfway by a giant iron beetle. One of the horses was swallowed whole, and the carriage was overturned by the impact. Immediately, a huge tide of death engulfed it, and cursing, pain, and struggle filled the chaotic battlefield.

The old captain's eyes were bloodshot until darkness swallowed his thoughts and consciousness.

In his final moments before death, he seemed to hear the sound of glass shattering, but he had no time to pay attention.

"Bang!"

A bloodstained head slammed into an invisible glass panel, leaving several cracks.

Here, at some unknown time, a crystal-like barrier has been erected.
